Okay so that name is a bit long, but its hard to leave anything out because all the different ingredients combined to make this dish so good. Whenever I buy ground turkey, my fall back is always taco salad. Forcing myself out of this rut, I took inventory of ingredients I had on hand and decided to whip up some burgers. To my great surprise these turned out better than I could have imagined.
I used my leftover Paleo mayo from the day before and added in garlic and cilantro for the aioli, which turned out to be drool worthy. One of my favorite things about paleo is the fact you can create almost anything. It forces me out of the easy aka unhealthy meals to discover new meals which are actually just as easy but 10 times healthier!
These turkey sliders are quick and easy making them the perfect lunch or dinner! I love using sweet potatoes as a bun replacement. I am a huge fan of the lettuce wrap but sweet potatoes add a great boost of flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled
- Ghee or coconut oil for cooking
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 Tbls paleo worcestershire sauce, or this brand
- 2 shallots
- 2 tbls paleo mayo, or kensington brand
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbls cilantro, minced
Directions
- Turn oven broiler to hot.
- Cut sweet potatoes vertically into 1/4-in disks. Brush with coconut oil and place into oven for 5 minutes.
- Flip and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Finely dice one shallot and cut the other into small rounds.
- Combine ground turkey, worchestshire sauce and diced shallot in a bowl. Make sure not to over work.
- Form burgers into 3 inch diameter patties with a small divot in the middle.
- Heat grill or skillet to medium heat. Lightly coat with ghee or coconut oil.
- Place patties on grill for 6 minutes, or until the sides start to turn brown.
- Flip and cook for 3-4 more minutes.
- Once burgers are done, place shallot rounds on hot grill to soften.
- After a minute, flip for one more minute then remove.
- Mix minced garlic and cilantro into the mayo.
- Assemble burgers with sweet potato “bun” on bottom, turkey burger, grilled onions and topped with the aioli. I added a homemade pickle slice to mine!

please can you put oven temperatures in celcius as well as farenheit so I dont have to look them up every time – for anyone outside the US
thanks
Jo
I can try! I am not super familiar with celcius ovens though.
there is sugar in the mayonaise brand you mention, I thought sugar was a no, no on the 30 day program?
For Whole30, you would want to make your own mayo as mentioned.
These were FANTASTIC. I loved everything about them. Perfect for a barbecue.
Thank you Margie!!
